In his original essay “fact, value, God, and reality: How Wittgenstein’s Ethics Clarifies the Fact-value Distinction and, in the Process, Perhaps Subverts a Scientific Holy War,” Dr. Paul Froese ponders the topic of how science, in particular social science, should treat the topic of transcendent reality. He argues that contemporary tendencies to advocate atheism or, conversely, theism are misguided. Drawing from Wittgenstein’s philosophy of ethics, he concludes that social science should simply avoid fruitless theological debates by evoking a “fact-absolute value distinction.”
